  The greatest Western writers of the twenty-first century return to Fort Misery—where the lowliest dregs of the U. S. ARMY defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . .They're not what you'd call "the good guys." They're a mangy pack of despicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse. But as condemned soldiers in an overstretched army, they were given a choice: death by hanging or serving out their time in a hell on earth.These men chose hell.Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches and gunslinging outlaws are practically a daily occurrence—and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery.

  East Wind: West Wind is told from the eyes of a traditional Chinese girl, Kwei-lan, married to a Chinese medical doctor, educated abroad. The story follows Kwei-lan as she begins to accept different points of view from the western world and re-discovers her sense of self through this coming-of-age narrative. 
  This was Pearl S. Buck’s first novel, written years before she went on to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. 
  What people had to say about the story: 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What I love about this book and all of Pearl S Buck's book she really understand the lives of Chinese women and tells their stories, rich or poor, beautiful or not, as they must have been. Not romanticised and really with lots of understanding, empathy and knowledge. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Wonderfully written book. The emotion with which the narrator tells her story seeps through the pages. I felt her pain, her joys, her fear and her love. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I love this book! The story is one of two women one from China and one from the United States and their marraiges. 
  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the sixth time I've read this novel, the first in its original language. It's one of my 10 best-beloved books of all time.
